How does this extension to my fxp effect me?

[LoveBeingAbleToNamechange]

I started work July 2010. I will be going on mat leave at some point in aug 2011. Contract has recently been extended to mar 2012. Was hoping to take the all the paid mat leave, 9mths?

Thanks

You are entitled to statutory maternity pay. Dies your employer have additional maternity pay and if so what does your contract say about the terms?

No additional just stat pay, will I still get it when my contract finishes though?
